Passage 1

With the economic globalization, more and more young people are working under great pressure. In my recent survey, I have found that childless people are one of the fastest-growing segments of the work force.
    One woman in five over the age of forty has never given birth to a child. In the near future, the number of households without children will overtake the number of households with children.
    Those childless couples are getting more and more used to their own life. Some childless couples look forward to child-free sections in restaurants and airplanes and recreational areas.
    They might only shop, dine or swim in ’adult-only’ spaces in order to avoid noisy infants and keep themselves quiet and peaceful. I am afraid this phenomenon will leave a negative impact on social development.
